So this might well be a request that not many are interested in, but I'll throw it out there anyway! Users and systems integrators used to have access to a rich command set using the unofficial web interface for Sonos products (http://:1400/). For example: we could reboot a device, check various status items, and best of all enable and/or disable the device's wifi interface. This command set has been drastically reduced to only some basic status checking, but for us systems integrators out there, the ability to enable/disable wifi from UnSoCo would be HUGE. The reason for this is that the correct way to install wired Sonos units is to disable wifi on them (some exceptions-- no flames pls!), and recently some Sonos updates have re-enabled wifi on devices that previously had it disabled, causing network loops and unhappy clients. In this scenario, it almost always requires a site visit to resolve because only the Sonos app can toggle wifi, and (1) walking a client through this can be undesirable and (2) connecting to the problematic Sonos devices reliably once a network loop has been created can often be impossible (requiring on-site power cycling of the devices individually in order to toggle the wifi, then proceed to the next devie, etc.). It would simply be AMAZING to have this feature re-accessible for remote support by having UnSoCo running on a RPi, which we often install as part of our standard network installations for various maintenance tasks. I would be happy to help in any way possible. Thank you for all you have done on this fantastic version of a controller.
